Don’t give up on your dreamsOkamura Takako, Amin
I was surprised to see the two members of Aming duetting on “Yume wo Akiramenai de,” but while their solo work is great, this has a pure and truly lovely feel too.
The two of them look effortlessly beautiful in white blouses and jeans, simple yet very elegant.
Being able to grow older like this is just the best, isn’t it?

Eau de ciel (Water of Heaven)Okamura Takako
The accompaniment is so mystical, it leaves me entranced.
Even when we go through hard times, I suppose that too is fate.
Even if a sorrowful parting comes, I want to keep looking up—toward the heavens, toward the sky—and live positively.
Nights aren’t made to stay dark forever.
I can feel the quiet resolve to keep looking forward.
